A Tournament was organised on the 25th Birthday of Leyla's Uncle [[Sami Cetin]] in October 2007. This included karters of the Intermediates to Beginners on [[SMK]]. Leyla joined 'Team UK' (as established by [[Jonathan Sifleet]]) in the tournament and wore her own t-shirt with 'London Women's Champion' for Super Mario Kart written on the back. 8 players entered the Tournament which would be set on 150cc Grand Prix mode of Mushroom Cup. The battles were fantastic, Leyla had an early match vs Lindsay Molenaar of the Netherlands who visited also. Leyla advanced to the later rounds. [[Vincent van der Fluit]] defeated the remainder of strong UK players including John Barber, placing Leyla and Vincent in the final. Leyla selected Bowser and Vincent Selected D.K.Jr and the final began... The races have been taped and are available on youtube and on DVD.

Leyla got a zoom start on Mario Circuit 2 and went for it cutting corners very sharp to gain a huge lead. Vincent got off to a bad start in 8th place throughout lap 1 while Leyla stormed into lap 2. Leyla was on fast approach to lap Vincent as she headed towards lap 3, and Vincent was still struggling to reach 7th. However Leyla over corrected and hit a pipe after the first corner putting her speed to a complete stop. She began to drive again after. Vincent picked up a star making it into 7th place but some controlling difficulties led him off the road into the green after the jump, with Leyla picking up speed once again and lapping him at the end of lap 3. Leyla picked up a Mushroom on lap 4, and was speeding round the track again, however a well placed green on the previous lap was in the way and she crashed into it where the flyover is. On the hairpin corner before the jump as Leyla was accelerating she got caught up a CPU that caused her to turn inwards and be stuck on the corner. Vincent, still a lap behind also made an error crashing into that same corner. Both karters were then stuck there for some moments as CPU passed Leyla. When she acceleratedshe used her Mushroom on the jump but didnt time it as well and went off the road a little on the far side. She was in 6th place and it was her last lap, 4th for Vincent. The crowd reminded her that she needed to come at least 4th to advance the race, and thus win the tournament. Vincent fought his way to try to reach some CPU karters. Leyla picked up another Mushroom, the weapon that she would need. When approaching the last corner, the audience were cheering for her to reach 4th as Vincent approaching with a Mushroom (one lap behind) also wished to take the jump the same way. Leyla then shroomed and passed the CPU to land 4th and advance the race the same moment as Vincent shroomed to land next to her on the finish line. He then proceeded to finish in 8th with another Mushroom onhis 5th lap. The crowd cheered as Leyla won the Tournament.
